This new Times-Leader newspaper article caught my attention!  Can anyone out there imagine going to trial knowing that the judge and opposing counsel have a very close SPECIAL relationship?  I am here to tell you that it happened ALL THE TIME in Luzerne County Court and the second anyone questioned these relationships they were pummeled.  After I formally questioned such a relationship former President Judge Patrick Toole responded to me in writing and I quote, "how dare you question the integrity of this court?".  I questioned it then as I do now. I even wrote a book about it called The Luzerne County Railroad.  More money has been stolen in Luzerne County with a gavel and a briefcase than ever with a gun.
